APPENDIX

This novel has another cornucopia of characters borrowed from literature,film and comics. My former novel The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1766 has many, but this one has even more. A lot of storytelling was done before,during and after WW1, filling this period with a vast ensemble of ficticious personages; many, but not all, form the tapestry of this narrative. There are several places mentioned in this tapestry that are just as ficticious as the characters.
